Folding back the fabric of time wasn't something he did often but he decided that he would make an exception this time. Choosing the exact moment after the Slayers and others left leaving behind Anya who had been slain during the battle against the Bringers and the uber vamps. D'Hoffryn looked down at her body which had been sliced in two.

"Oh Anyanka you were my favorite demon."

Wiping away a tear he pointed at Anya's body and transported them away before the Hellmouth was destroyed. There was never another demon like Anyanka so he decided to bring her back in the hopes of getting her back as one of his demons. After calling in a favor he was able to restore Anyanka. He placed her in a tiny village pull of potential with some many people ripe for wishing. Anya opened her eyes and looked around. D'Hoffryn was standing by the bed.

"What happened?"

"How are you doing Anyanka?"

"I'm a little thirsty."

Anya sat up. She didn't recognize where she was. D'Hoffryn grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and handed it to ANya who twisted the cap off before taking a swig.

"I'm not in Sunnydale am I?"

"No Sunnydale's gone."

"Xander?"

"He's fine."

Anya was relieved to know that Xander survived the battle.

"How did I get here?"

"I foleded back the fabric of time and grabbed you before the town turned into a giant landfill.

"Did I die? I remember fighitng those Bringers."

"I brought you back bu tthere's something you should know."

Anya stood up and walked over to D'Hoffryn. She hugged him.

"Thank you so much."

"I'm hoping you'd like to become a demon again. Of course you should take some time to recover. I don't want to pressure you."

Anya had thought about becoming a demon again but she wasn't sure if she had it in her to do it anymore.

"You should also know that the year is 2009."

"Huh?"

Anya sat down thinking about the years she had lost. For all she knew Xander had met someone else and forgot all about her.

:"Well you see there's been a shortage of vengeance demons so you're not the only one I brought back. I brought Halfreck back too."

"Where is she?"

Anya would love to see her oldest friend again but she wasn't sure how it would go since she was kind of to blame for Hallie being killed after taking that wish back with the dead frat boys and wanting to become mortal again.

"Oh you know Halfreck she travels around but I think she was in California."

D'Hoffryn watched Anyanka take everything in knowing that she wondered about that boy who broke her heart but didn't ask.

"Just stay here for a while and give me a chant if you want to get back into the vengeance businss."

It was such a shame when a demon so good at vengeance decided to quit. He hoped that Anyanka would come back into the fold but he couldn't force it. He had all the time in the world to wait while the clock was ticking for her.
